## Clarity 3D Solver Reviews
  ### 1. Exceptionally good for large and complex designs

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kapil G. | RF Application Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2023

**What do you like best about Clarity 3D Solver?**

Its efficient use of computer resources by distributing tasks parallely to save simulation time. It is the only FEM solver which leverages latest multi cores technology to parallelize the meshing which results in drastic savings in simulation time with same accuracy.

**What do you dislike about Clarity 3D Solver?**

It requires atleast 5 GB of free RAM even for relatively simpler structure for simulations. Also, for remote simulations, only linux server is supported. One needs to install Linux VM to use on Windows OS

**What problems is Clarity 3D Solver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is helping users save simulation time and accelerate time to market with its massively parallel solution in terms of remote simulations. It is the only 3D solver whiich can dustribute mesh for remote server simulations

  ### 2. Best tool in the market

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Abhilash K. | Software engineer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2023

**What do you like best about Clarity 3D Solver?**

One of the best tool i came across to perform various 3d simulations and interconnections in the pcbs. This tool have great graphics and best best visual representation of the various stages.

**What do you dislike about Clarity 3D Solver?**

Something the clarity seems to be missing and becomes somewhat tough to analyse the design given to interconnect and hence makes tougher for the user to visualise

**What problems is Clarity 3D Solver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The visualisation is simply aesthetically appealing with various of customization features across various stages and hence makes easy to understand and create the designs
